Here is a thorny question: should a person who clearly shows evidence of a regenerate life be excluded from a local fellowship because they hold that their infant baptism is sufficient?  Would allowing them to be a member show a disregard for the biblical command that all believers be baptized or is...

I am in San Francisco on the day of the iPhone 3G launch.  Since I am a tech guy, I knew it was going to be a big deal and the San Franciscans didn’t disappoint.  The Apple Store was easily identifiable because of the line that stretched down the block, around the corner and on.  Later in the...

Most of us have probably run into at least one person who says that they don’t enjoy reading the bible.  They will probably tell you that while they would like to, they end up not understanding it or not getting anything out of it.  Most of these people usually follow up this comment with a desire...

For this reason, I would commend to you a recent mp3 recording provided through Monergism.com of John McArthur speaking at the Together For The...

The April issue of Christianity Today has a cover story on the decline of the Christian bookstore.  There are a number of articles describing the struggle of such businesses as large chain stores and Amazon.com sell many of the same titles at cheaper prices, how they are often seen by the younger generations...
